Since the mods aren't on here long enough to delete all of the partisan threads or ban users like RealityTime and peacup, I'm declaring this forum as a political battleground. Apparently the staff either doesn't have the resources or doesn't care about this forum to clean it up.

Therefore, I'm going to keep posting partisan crap until you either delete all of the political threads and ban the political posters or shut down the entire forum. It is clear that this place has turned to shit and is nothing more than a sideshow at this point.

The usual suspects can PM me if they still want to go elsewhere for some REAL, non-partisan discussion.

"If San Diego Unified goes through with the 1,600 layoffs of teachers, we're going to have class sizes approaching 50," Filner(Mayor Candidate) said. "That's just wrong. The teachers can't teach. The children can't learn, and we got to get adequate funding."

We must NOT forget the military which fuels our local economy to the tune of $16 billion annually. As Mayor I will make sure the military receives the region’s undivided support and assistance in growing their local presence.

hooray for bombs

City Budget

My approach and my philosophy to budget issues can be summed up in four words: Living within our means.

(translates) Cut's have to made

we give up to being poor

Mayor Candidate Tobiah Pettus

Based on my extensive review of the state of the City, my opinion is that the City of San Diego’s budget is balanced. In fact, there’s a surplus. Comprehensive Pension Reform addresses only ~1.75% of the City’s annual budget. Reform, though needed, should not include the unethical reduction of earned retirements.

a political forum sounds contradictoray to me, heres why: OWS wants change, change comes by government, but if we talk about government officials isnt that a political forum, and so what? I think we should continue talking about politics as they really are, for we the people are getting to be smarter than the politicians.

It's kind of funny to see so many people on this site calling for more moderation, when Occupy in general is very hostile toward law enforcement. Isn't anarchy what most people here want? Then why are a bunch of anarchists begging for more cops?

You confuse anarchy with chaos (civil disorder) perhaps,. anarchy is not giving some, power over others. egalitarianism.
In a public forum, that has a subject, it is common practice to have post ON TOPIC,. if not they are removed. this is a social convention or community standard and nothing to do with LAW enforcement.

We do not need post about political parties,. both are tools of the 1%,. the left (center right) and the right hand of the banksters and the military-corporate control structures.

We're not all (or even majority) Anarchists. I don't want OWS to just be a more political version of 4chan. We have enough chans as it is. I want this site to be a place where collaboration, planning, and action can take place.
